Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of coating a substrate, comprising the steps of a) providing a substrate, b) applying a composition to at least one side of the substrate, the composition containing an inorganic compound and the inorganic compound containing at least one metal and/or semimetal selected from the group Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, Nb, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co, B, Al, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn, Zn, Pb, Sb, Bi or a mixture thereof and at least one element selected from the group Te, Se, S, O, Sb, As, P, N, C, Ga or a mixture thereof, c) drying the composition applied in step b), d) applying at least one coating to the at least one side of the substrate to which the composition was applied in step b), the coating containing a silane of the general formula (Z1)Si(OR)3, Z1 being R, OR or Gly (Gly is 3-glycidyloxypropyl) and R being an alkyl radical having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, it being possible for all radicals R to be identical or different, oxide particles selected from the oxides of Ti, Si, Zr, Al, Y

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealed natural cut stone, the pores of which are permeable to water vapor but are impermeable to aqueous liquids, and a method for the production thereof and the use of such natural cut stones.
